Points on my Licence. Can I still hire a Van?

Yes, points are no problem.

Non UK Licence. What happens about insurance?

If it an internationally recognised licence then we can get you covered.

Hours of return of vehicle?

We would prefer drop-offs when the office is open, but you are able to leave vehicles outside and use our drop box facility for keys. Vehicles left outside the premises are still the responsibility of the hirer until a member of staff attends the vehicle at 08:00.

What are the restrictions when applying for hiring a van from Abbey Van Hire?

Hirers must be at least 21 years old and must have held their licence for at least 12 months.

Is the usual UK Driving Licence adequate for up to a 7.5 tonne vehicle?

7.5T vehicles require a Class C category on a driving licence. To have this you must “acquired rights” or you must have taken a separate test.

What documents do you need to see regarding proof of address etc?

We can accept most official documents as long they are within 3 months old. We will also accept documents on your smart phone.

European travel. Is this permitted with your vehicles?

Unfortunately, none of our vehicles are covered to leave the UK.

At what age can one hire one of your vehicles?

Hirers must be between 21 years old and 75 years old. Please do not be offended if you are asked your age when booking a vehicle.
